Import Raw Data

Interactive Code

Throughout this document, hover over the numbered annotations to the right of code chunks to reveal detailed explanations and comments about the code. Where drop-down italicized text is present, expand by pressing on arrow to see code.

Procedure

Step 1: Efficiently install packages and load libraries
if (!requireNamespace("pacman", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("pacman")
}

pacman::p_load(
  renv, 
  yaml, 
  rmarkdown, 
  rio, 
  tidyverse, 
  janitor, 
  lubridate, 
  fs,
  hms, 
  zoo, 
  corrplot, 
  kableExtra, 
  psych, 
  ggplot2, 
  shiny, 
  rsconnect, 
  packrat, 
  plotly, 
  htmlwidgets
  )
Step 2: Define vector of files to import
create_vector_file_paths <- function(directory_path) {
  # List all files in the given directory path
  files_to_import <- fs::dir_ls(path = directory_path)
  
  # Loop through the files and print each with an index
  for (i in seq_along(files_to_import)) {
    cat(i, "= ", files_to_import[i], "\n")
  }
  
  # Return the vector of file paths
  return(files_to_import)
}

files_to_import <- create_vector_file_paths("data/raw")
1 =  data/raw/2024-02-28_dfs.RData 
2 =  data/raw/2024-02-28_ksf-clam-growth.xlsx 
3 =  data/raw/2024-02-28_ksf-compiled-data.xlsx 
4 =  data/raw/2024-02-28_ksf-oyster-cylinder-growth.xlsx 
5 =  data/raw/2024-02-28_profile-data.xlsx 
6 =  data/raw/2024-02-28_water-samples.xlsx 
7 =  data/raw/2024-02-28_weather-data.xlsx 
8 =  data/raw/2024-03-01_dfs-no-profiles.RData 
9 =  data/raw/2024-03-01_dfs_no_profiles.RData 
10 =  data/raw/2024-03-04_dfs-no-profiles.RData 
11 =  data/raw/2024-03-08_dfs-no-profiles.RData 
12 =  data/raw/~$2024-02-28_water-samples.xlsx 
@iteratively-import-raw-data Code Chunk Execution Warning

The @iteratively-import-raw-data code chunk should only be ran once when raw data is updated because it takes long to execute. Therefore, run the @efficiently-load-raw-data code chunk instead to easily import up-to-date raw data.

Step 3: Use the purrr::map() function to iteratively import files in the files_to_import vector except for the profiles data and .RData files
dfs_no_profiles <- map(files_to_import[c(2:4, 6, 7)], import_list)
current_date <- format(Sys.Date(), "%Y-%m-%d")
save(dfs_no_profiles, file = paste0("data/raw/", current_date, "_dfs-no-profiles.RData"))
Ensure the Correct Index Value is Inputted Below

Refer to the output of the files_to_import data object to ensure you are inputting the correct index value corresponding to the file path that needs to be loaded.

Step 4: Efficiently import up-to-date raw data
base::load(files_to_import[10])

We will always use snakecase when naming our data objects and functions (e.g., data_object_name or function_name()).

Step 5: Rename datasets
names(dfs_no_profiles) <- gsub("data/raw/2024-02-28_|\\.xlsx$|\\.xls$", "", 
                               files_to_import[c(2:4, 6, 7)])
names(dfs_no_profiles) <- gsub("-", "_", names(dfs_no_profiles))
1
Remove prefixes and file extensions
2
Replace hyphens with underscores
Step 6: Rename each sheet within each raw dataset to be lowercased and replace spaces with underscores
dfs_no_profiles <- map(dfs_no_profiles, ~ set_names(.x, gsub(" ", "_", tolower(names(.x)))))
Step 7: Create separate datasets by specifying the Excel sheet from each spreadsheet we want to tidy
ksf_clams_growth_data <- dfs_no_profiles$ksf_clam_growth$sheet1
ksf_compiled_data <- dfs_no_profiles$ksf_compiled_data$full_data
ksf_oyster_cylinder_growth_data <- dfs_no_profiles$ksf_oyster_cylinder_growth$sheet1
water_samples_data <- dfs_no_profiles$water_samples$data_overview
weather_data <- dfs_no_profiles$weather_data$weather_ksf
tidal_data <- dfs_no_profiles$ksf_compiled_data$tides
Step 8: We want to combine multiple sheets within the profiles Excel spreadsheet into one, therefore, we will import it separately
sheets_to_import <- c("L1", "L2", "L3", "L4")

profiles_data <- profiles_data <- map_dfr(sheets_to_import, function(sheet_name) {
  import(files_to_import[5], which = sheet_name)
}) %>%
  bind_rows()
